Acting is a nasha and I’m reinventing myself constantly, says Kareena

Facing the camera after a year, she is shooting a promotional video for friend and director Lovely Singhs’ film ‘Kya Love Story Hai’. “My sister (Karisma Kapoor) admires my patience. For a year I didn’t do any film. I waited for the right offers,” says Kareena.

She adds, “But I’ve come out a winner. Even the small role in ‘Don’ has been appreciated. It’s my individuality that has stood me. I cannot just look pretty.”

Enjoying the studio grind she says, “Acting is a nasha. I’m reinventing myself constantly.”

Bebo’s boy-next-door
Quiz her one whether she would credit this unruffled Kareena to Shahid Kapur’s presence in her life and she says, “He is the reason for my smiles and my laughter. He’s the quintessential boy-next-door, my dream man.” And what has Bebo added to Shahid’s life? “Spice!” she shoots. “He’s a thinker. I want to understand his silences. But he has opened up, thanks to me.”

Friends forever
Ask her if she misses working with her debut co-star Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena confesses, “My fondness for Abhishek is genuine and goes beyond words. I’ve no hard feelings, irrespective of whether we do a film or not. At the end of it, it’s only a film.”
Asserting her abiding friendship with director Karan Johar, she shares, “I love Karan from the bottom of my heart. I guard his friendship like a child in a cradle. Our friendship goes beyond a film.”

Marriage?
Kareena, who has films including Imtiaz Ali’s starrer with Shahid Kapur, Mani Ratnam’s ‘Lajjo’ with Aamir Khan and a Yash Raj production coming up, says that marriage will happen at the right time. “I believe in the beauty of a home, in being a wife and making my man proud,” declares the avid advocate.
